Owlet Smart Sock Plus is the first baby monitor
to deliver peace of mind, better understanding of a child’s
well-being and developmental insights from birth to early
childhood
Building on the Smart Sock’s ground-breaking technology with
over 1 million babies monitored around the world, this week Owlet
introduces its newest innovation: the Smart Sock Plus. Designed for
children from birth until 5 years old, the Smart Sock Plus allows
parents to track heart rate, oxygen level and sleep trends for
their children’s well-being, offering peace of mind from infancy
through early childhood.
“The desire and need to continue tracking your child’s
well-being doesn’t stop at 18 months, and with the Smart Sock Plus,
we’re providing a solution that parents have long been asking Owlet
for,” said Kurt Workman, Owlet co-founder and CEO and a father to
three children. “As parents, just as we want to know our own sleep
quality and well-being, we expect access to the same data and
insights about our children. At Owlet, we fundamentally believe
knowledge is power, so the more parents know about their little
one’s well-being, including sleep trends and milestones, the more
they’re empowered to provide the best care possible at home.”
Owlet’s flagship product, the Smart Sock, launched in 2015 for
babies 0-18 months old, up to 30 pounds. The Smart Sock Plus
extends the product’s use, empowering parents with a better
understanding of their child’s needs as they grow, along with the
ability to track their child’s well-being from birth to early
childhood (up to 55 pounds). Designed by parents for parents, moms,
dads and caregivers can experience more confidence in their
choices, more support while facing new developmental milestones,
and more joy and peace of mind throughout the parenting journey
with the Smart Sock Plus.
In a survey of current Owlet customers, nearly three out of four
caregivers said they wish they could use the Smart Sock beyond 18
months as their child continues to grow.1 The Smart Sock and the
Smart Sock Plus leverage pulse oximetry technology — which many
know as the little red light they clip on a finger at the hospital
to track heart rate and oxygen levels. A first of its kind, the
Smart Sock allows parents to view their child’s readings in real
time from the Owlet App. If the readings fall outside of preset
zones, parents are notified through their phone and a Base Station.
Since launch, over 1 million babies have been monitored by the
Smart Sock. With more than 24 million children between ages 0-5 in
the U.S., the expanded size and usage range with the Smart Sock
Plus will equip even more parents to better understand their
child’s overall well-being.
The Smart Sock Plus is available today in the U.S. on
OwletCare.com and Amazon for $359, and includes the Smart Sock
sensor, Base Station and three sizes of fabric socks to grow with
your child up to 55 pounds. The Smart Sock Plus can be paired with
the Owlet Cam ($149, or sold as a bundle with the Smart Sock Plus
for $459), delivering the most advanced snapshot of your child’s
wellbeing from birth to kindergarten. Existing Smart Sock 3
customers can purchase an extension pack for $69, which includes
two additional sock sizes. The Smart Sock Plus is set to launch in
select European and APAC countries this Fall.
